I have to admit... I saw the price and I couldn't resist. Wife threw a stink about it even after me trying to sell how good of a deal it is (She gets irked that I tend to make yearly $500+ phone purchases). After all of my logic and whatnot, I got the angry "well buy it, I don't know why you are asking me" deal. I figured, the wrath isn't worth it but that price just ate at me. I was foolish and didn't do more than a little research on the rep of this company and I purchased it with 2 minutes to spare. I don't mind the wait as I'm using an ICS equipped Nexus S that I purchased the day it released. I got my father to buy the Verizon version and would have done the same had I not had to pay ETF on two lines with T-mobile. I refuse to buy another T-mobile phone on contract as their future is rather shaky... love the company though.

Anyway, getting discursive, I apologize. I hope that this doesn't turn out to be a refurbished Nexus One or something as this site has some really shady reviews. I read that another member purchased and simply got warrantied through Square Trade to cover issues that may arise. I'm hoping and praying I didn't get scammed, but thankfully I used my CC instead of debit on this dubious purchase.

Funny thing is after letting the wife know what my BAH and anniversary pay raise would be, she says "well you should get that phone you want." Least if it does actually arrive, I won't be in the dog house!

Hope we all actually receive phones as described! It's a great phone regardless. ICS is awesome. I could have held out for a GS3 but after purchasing the first variant, getting regular Google updates on the Nexus line is just too nice! Raw power isn't everything... I can't play those high end games well without a controller anyway. I just enjoy having the newest android experience... I guess I'm a damn hipster like that. Let's hope this isn't a scam.
[Member-Found Deals] gmanunited:
Yes I couldn't resist either. Saw the price and waited for a while. Read the reviews but still ordered. Most reviews around the web does state that order will come albeit slow. Hopefully they can come through. I used Paypal connected to CC so hopefully I will not have to use either of them for protection. Really want my Nexus this will be my first. ICS is very enticing.
[Member-Found Deals] kirdroid:
Well you could have sold the current tmobile phones and used them towards your etf. Then buy the verizon nexus on contract which would have worked out cheaper since you won't mind going to verizon.
[Member-Found Deals] greenstuffs:
Verizon pricing is in another league, if you are fine with other carriers and don't need the verizon coverage then you should stick with the cheapest carrier.
[Member-Found Deals] tigerfire25:
In wait for the phone to arrive. Wish you all best of luck.

[Member-Found Deals] Jayrod1980:
Thanks for the advice... but since I had to renew last year to get a better discount... I think that 2x$200 for the ETF that I would be still out at least 400 total for the Verizon version. I would also have to buy the phone and straddle two carriers until the Nexus S sold on ebay. My wife has a MyTouch Slide that's utterly wrecked... so I don't even think I would get $100 for that. She likes android too so even with an entry level phone I would probably be out close to $600 without accessories. It would be more expensive in the end for sure. I don't mind paying another maybe $30 a month for Verizon's far superior coverage but I still hate how they lock things down. It seems that the Galaxy Nexus is the only thing they offer that I would purchase. If this deal goes through I'm set without switching for now. My wife would get my pristine Nexus S and we would have two ICS phones in the house.

FYI

Finally got a reply email from daily steals.. I had asked if they have enough stock to fulfill my order or would there be an additional delay to get more stock to send out my order... this was the response...
[Member-Found Deals] matt897:
Been waiting for a response for my phone order too....nothing as of yet and their phones/chat system are down. Looks like I might need to show up at their doorstep and try for a face to face support chat.

Anyone get shipping info yet? I kind of regret buying from these guys - everything I read is that these guys take FOREVER, I almost rather pay the extra $100 and get it from newegg, at least I know it'll show up this century.

[Member-Found Deals] Jayrod1980:
Someone posted on Android Central that they went to UPS and entered "Track by Reference" and put in their Order ID number and found their phone shipped yesterday evening. I did the same for mine and apparantely it hasn't shipped yet. Maybe by this evening!

See the thread in

Samsung Galaxy Nexus > Galaxy Nexus General > daliy steals selling GSM version for 559.99 today only

There is a way to find out your package using the order# from dailysteals and destination zipcode.

I checked mine and it is out for delivery (I am in Boston so 1 day ground service :D)
[Member-Found Deals] quick_:
Thanks for this info... I checked mine @ UPS and shows it shipped yesterday... scheduled delivery is Thurs. 13th (texas)

Now I just hope I get a legit retail sealed i9250...

Those who receive theirs please let us know the condition etc... please!!
[Member-Found Deals] Rcommander:
i am op of the reference tracking

This is how you track:

Go to UPS.com click on TRACK BY REFERENCE. Linky

Then type in your order number as the reference. then put ship date as 1/5/11 to 1/10/11 then put desitation country USA and your zip code. there you go!
[Member-Found Deals] ninjaclipse:
I picked one up too, funny enough i've yet to receive an email. But I checked their website and it showed it shipped yesterday at midnight and is on its way. I should get it in Dallas by Thursday. Ill report back, as im eagerly awaiting it.
[Member-Found Deals] lwongf:
Hi all, I logged on to DailySteal to check my order status after reading these posting and found out by surprise they already shipped. I got the UPS tracking number in order status and was surpised to find it reported Delivered! Checking with the wife and she said " yes, there is a package for you"!

First of all, the Galaxy Nexus box just sit inside the brown box without any padding. I can hear the phone box shifting inside when I lift it.

The Nexus phone box is not shrink-wrapped. Is this normal?

The front screen protector shows no sign of having been peeled off before and re-applied. The back plastic protector is low-tac so it's hard to tell. It had some paper filing attached to the edge but they might have came from the box itself.

The battery looks new in the resealable wrapper. the other accessories looks untouched but then again, there is no way to tell for sure. The charger still has the plastic wrap attached.

The phone is being charged right now and there is no light or screen showing anything. I am just too tired to power it on so will see it tomorrow.

[Member-Found Deals] AnyMal:
Just about every Samsung smartphone I ever owned had a charging indicator even when the phone is off. If yours is plugged in but there is nothing on the screen I'd be worried. Hope that's not the case.
[Member-Found Deals] lwongf:
You are exactly right. A while after I posted the previous message, I saw an on-screen indicator came on saying it was charging. Surprising it took so long for it to come on.

FW
[Member-Found Deals] matt897:
Well....

I was worried about these guys - honestly I will never buy anything from them again that is worth this much money, but last night I did get my Galaxy and I must say....the thing KICKS ASS

hope everyone else who ordered it is as happy as I am
[Member-Found Deals] vikramdhani:
Well i dont have any shipping info from them as of now and no one is replying to the emails as well. I wonder if i got ripped off and will never get my phone and i will never buy anything from them ever again
[Member-Found Deals] lwongf:
Try go to their website and login into your account. I have not received any communiucation from them either and the phone jsut showed up. Once you login, click on your order. There should be a tracking numebr at the bottom if the order was shipped.

I have ordered from them a few times before and their shipping is typically slow and without any prior communications. This is the first "big ticket" item I have ordered from them before and was more nervous than usual. But come to think of it, this is the fastest item they have shipped!

Needless to say, I am not affiliated with them at all.

FW
[Member-Found Deals] vikramdhani:
THanks for the info but i did checked and only thing that is there in MY Orders is the payment completed and nothing else after that and no other communication from them as of now
[Member-Found Deals] vikramdhani:
Still no update for me :( wait it on
[Member-Found Deals] thetinybus:
Is shipping really that bad for a daily sale website? I've used a few of them and my phone is supposed to arrive on friday. 10 days from when I placed my order isn't too bad IMO.
[Member-Found Deals] tigerfire25:
I had mailed to sales@dailysteals.com complaining the shipment delay yesterday and this is what reply I received from them today.

" We recently received the Samsung Galaxy Nexus phones in from our supplier. However, a small portion of the shipment was incomplete. If you are receiving this email, your order was not included in the initial shipment.

Because of this, your order has been slightly delayed and we apologize for the inconvenience! We expect to receive the rest of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus phones next week at which point they will immediately be shipped out.

We would like to give you the opportunity to cancel your order if the new estimated time of arrival does not meet your specific deadline.

If you would like to cancel your order, please use the link

"removed link as was for my account only"

If you do not use this link, your order will ship out shortly and you will receive tracking information via email.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope that you still continue to shop with us!

Best, The DailySteals Team"

Well, guess what i did. I just cancelled my order! & now I feel a big relief :-)

[Member-Found Deals] claud_face:
Why are any of you scared of not getting shipment?

I thought there are countless confirmations of receiving the phone. I wish I saw this deal and made an order with them.

I am so mad I missed out!!
[Member-Found Deals] jj14:
If they don't get it shipped out today, I'm going to call my credit card company. (I already sent dailysteals an Email - and as usual, no reply, chat/phone are "temporarily offline" whenever I checked during normal business hours since 1/4 when I placed the order).

For a low-value order, I wouldn't be this concerned - but this is a significant amount.
[Member-Found Deals] James Bell:
I got the same email (I ordered at 3:15pm). I kept my order in place, I could not find a deal within $100 of this one. If it gets delayed beyond next week I will cancel though.

Also I hear they do not notify when they ship (guess emails are too expensive) so you have to either check their site or UPS's track-by-reference with your order number.

Really stupid customer care. I'd think with a big splash sale like this one they'd try extra hard to make a good impression. I will never buy from them again.
[Member-Found Deals] Stevv:
Received mine on Tuesday!!!
[Member-Found Deals] r34p3rex:
They're not out to scam anyone. Hell, I'd gladly take over someone's order if they didn't want it. If anyone is seriously considering this, PM me. I want to see if I can work out a deal with DailySteals to transfer the order to me.

Hey all.

I've been searching all over, for a guide to make your own update script.

Did take a look at corky's thread, but that was not what I had planed for.

Since I play a lot around with ICS on my HD2, I kinda wanna do a simple update.zip script, so I can install all those programs that do not follow the aosp rom.

For instance:

Install those apk's you have on the side, and then flash it in cvm :rolleyes:

Is it possible??

Hope I explained it good enough ;-)

yes its, possible. in fact its very easy :)

here you go:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936175

one more hint. just take an existent rom.zip. delete what is inside and put your own files in there. and check the updater script, if it needs adjustments. use total commander to open the zips as normal folders. this way you wont mess up the compression or other settings. generally, total commander is best allround tool ;)))

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
About 1 out of every 3 times I reboot my Galaxy Nexus I end up with corrupted fonts. Rebooting again usually solves the problem, but it's starting to get annoying. Does anyone else have this problem, or have any idea what's causing it?

I am currently using the Gummi Custom Rom with Franco's Kernel, but this problem was happening on the stock rom, and other roms and kernels that I have tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
Are you using the stock Launcher, or some mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
It's Nova Launcher installed as a system app. I didn't think of the launcher because the fonts are still corrupted inside applications, it's not just limited to the launcher. It's not a true "mod", just a normal launcher application, the stock launcher is still present.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
It's a known bug of Nova. Read the first page on their thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
cool, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volsey:
I've had the same problem several times. I have Nova installed but haven't been using it.

I'm using solely the stock launcher, and usually the corrupted fonts don't delve into the apps, just the launcher itself.

It's really annoying because the phone reboots itself randomly, then I have to reboot it again due to the corrupted font. Not that this happens everyday but one a week is often enough to annoy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BradleyUffner:
The problems seems to have stopped several versions of nova launcher ago. I guess the problem was fixed, intentionally or not.
